Redirect your customers from your marketing page to your app
Hi HN! I've gotten a bit frustrated by going to `datadog.com` instead of `app.datadog.com`. I know that I could use a chrome extension to do this redirect for me (I do). But since this is a painful UX, I think that SaaS companies should do something to improve it for all of their users. So I made `marketing-redirect`, a quick bit of HTML to put on a marketing page that lets customers get automatically redirected to the application they're already paying for: https://github.com/elliotaplant/marketing-redirect You can see an example of it in action here:…
In plain words
Marketing-redirect is an HTML snippet that SaaS companies can add to their marketing website to automatically redirect existing customers to their application. Instead of users landing on the main marketing page, the tool detects if they're already logged in and sends them directly to the app interface. It's designed for SaaS teams looking to improve the user experience for paying customers who accidentally visit the marketing site instead of going straight to the application.

My best idea is to create a cloud service the help marketing teams remove or tag the page views from paying customers who visit their marketing page so their analytics software can exclude them as possible leads. I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks, Elliot
